BTW did you notice my cat that popped its head into the pic?  I noticed that today, LOL.

I say that one has been used the same way the ones on my Granma's farm have been used, storage of feed.

I believe that is where the bottle opener and catch can went.  I do not know what it looked like though. if anyone can find a pic of one so I know what to look for I would be most grateful!!

Status: offline 		There is a Pepsi cooler (double the size) of this model right now on ebay...
Item number: 140268885860 up in PA...
Because of size I doubt it will sell you may want to offer to buy the cap catcher to complete yours maybe even a extra set of lids too...
Anyway saw that and thought I'd pass that along...

Just one more thing to think about.
